extraordinary coach

Chapter 62 Schalke 04
After several nights of brainstorming and Sun Yi's consideration, he finally made a training plan for Thrall.Then hand it over to the entire coaching staff to arrange Thrall's training plan for the next month at least.

After completing Saar's training plan, Sun Yi immediately ushered in another more important matter - the Europa League.

International competitions are, in any case, more important than national leagues.This is true of any country.

Ligue [-] is not good, but if you play well in the Europa League, you will not be scolded very much.But if you don't play well in the Europa League, even if you play well in Ligue [-], the fans will spray you to death.From the perspective of the evaluation will be very low.The Europa League is a more important event than Ligue [-].

This season's first Europa League game, Sun Yi really attaches great importance to it.And it is more important than anyone else.

Can't ignore it.This is the last hurdle for him to complete the task of "Five Wins in a Row".Not only must you pay attention, but you must also win.If he can't win, his IQ will be confiscated.

IQ was confiscated, how could this work?
Therefore, for the first time since Sun Yi entered the Nice team, he felt huge pressure on a game.

But it is really difficult for Sun Yi to complete the task this time, very difficult.

Because the opponent is not simple, it is from the famous Bundesliga team Schalke 04.The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the Schalke 04 team knows that it is a very strong team just by its reputation.

Sun Yi and the coaching staff knew this when they studied the intelligence of the Schalke 04 team.The opinion of Dior and others is that the Schalke 04 team is stronger than the Nice team.The probability of losing this game is not small, and the goal of a draw may be more achievable.

There are also outside footballers who agree with the coaching staff.

"Although the Nice team has achieved an astonishing four-match victory since the start of the new season. But among these opponents, apart from the Marseille team, there is no real strong team. And this time, the Nice team will face the Schalke 04 team .is a tougher opponent than Marseille."

"Judging from the strength of both sides, the Nice team may still be slightly inferior to the Schalke 04 team. Moreover, the head coach of the Nice team is Sun, who has no European experience. His experience is also a weakness of the Nice team."

"Looking at all the circumstances, the goal of the Nice team in this game cannot be set too high. It is more reasonable to get one point for a draw. It is actually more acceptable to get one point for the first game. No matter whether it is against Nice or For the fans, it's all acceptable."

The analysis of the media seems to be reasonable, and fans of the Nice team agree with this view.

It's just that Sun Yi couldn't follow this idea.A draw is acceptable to other people, but he is the only one who can't.Whether it is a draw or a loss, it means the same to him.

Therefore, when the coaching staff tended to formulate a strategy for the Nice team with the main goal of keeping a tie, Sun Yi could only think hard about a good strategy to win.

Game day is fast approaching.

Sun Yi can finally check the Schalke 04 team with his own eyes.But he soon discovered that, as everyone analyzed before the game, the overall strength of the Schalke 04 team is really stronger than that of the Nice team.

Just looking at the comparison of the strength of the two goalkeepers makes Sun Yi scratch his head.The main goalkeeper of the Nice team, Cardinale, is only B-level.But the Schalke 04 goalkeeper Ferman's strength is as high as A-level.This difference is a full three levels.

In terms of the back line, the Nice team is also much worse than the Schalke 04 team.Among Nice's defenders, the strongest defender is B+ grade Ricardo Pereira, but Schalke 04 has two A-grade defenders, and the worst one is B grade.

In terms of midfield, the Nice team is also inferior.Gretzka and Ben Taleb of the Schalke 04 team are both fierce men with A-level strength.The worst of the three midfielders is also Stanbury with B+ level strength.

Speaking of which, the only advantage the Nice team has is the striker.Balotelli and Salah are both A-level strength.Schalke 04's strongest Shubo Moting is only A-level.On the contrary, there is a young player named Emboluo who has a high talent potential and has an A+.It's just that the current strength is still at the B+ level.

Compared with this, the Nice team lost three of the four lines in the lineup.It can be said that the strength gap is really quite big.

If Sun Yi wants to win the game, the only thing he can rely on is the front trident composed of Balotelli, Praia and Salah.

Another advantage of the Nice team is that they are playing at home this time.There is a home advantage.

Today's game, because it is the Europa League, and at the same time affected by the four-game winning streak, many Nice fans flooded into the Allianz Rivera Stadium.

There were 5000 people in the last game against Marseille, and this time it reached 5000.For the Allianz Rivera Stadium, which only has a capacity of more than 3, it is almost full of guests.

But this time, the fans of the Nice team were more conscientious. As soon as they entered the stands, they immediately began to cheer for the Nice team.The atmosphere in this arena has never been better.

"Today's atmosphere is good. This should be regarded as a favorable factor. Calculated in this way, our disadvantage is not as great as imagined. If the tactics can be successful, the chance of winning is not small." Hearing the enthusiasm of the fans With the loud shouts, Sun Yi became more confident.

"Are we really going to do this?" Dior asked Sun Yi worriedly, looking at the players who had already stepped onto the field.

"Yes." Sun Yi nodded firmly.

"But this is really risky. I suggest that we should be more cautious. A draw is completely acceptable to us." Dior said earnestly.

"We must go forward. The only way in our eyes is to defeat the opponent, no matter who the opponent is. This is my creed." Sun Yi said without doubt.And this is just his appearance, but in his heart there are other words: Brother Dior, I also want to be more cautious.I also want to just get one point.But I can't do it.I can only win!I have no choice!

"Okay." Seeing Sun Yi's proud expression, Dio could only nod.At the same time, I felt quite emotional: Maybe this is the difference between Sun and me.This is probably the reason why he can be the head coach, but I am only suitable for the assistant coach.In terms of spiritual temperament alone, I am not as good as him!
After the entrance ceremony on the field, the game started soon.

As soon as the game started, the Nice fans in the stands were quickly taken aback.

"What? We played 433 formations, and it's still so fierce?"

"This is going to be a confrontation! Shouldn't we be more careful, and it is more sure to play a defensive counterattack?"

"Did Sun take the wrong medicine today? Isn't he usually the favorite to play defensive counterattacks? Why did he play offensive football instead?"
